Our service design takes environmental factors very well into consideration – we strive to develop sustainable products and services and therefore make sure the environmental impact is considered all the way from product design to service processes. We use water and energy efficiently in our processes not to burden the environment by wasting resources. Also, we optimize our delivery routes and laundry locations for best possible performance without comprising the environment.
When we design our products, we aim to maximize their lifecycle by using materials that will last long in use and in our laundry processes. All of our workwear is designed so that the garments can easily be repaired if needed. We actually repair workwear 3 000 000 times per year – that’s right, 3 000 000 times per year! As opposed to the general trend in the textile industry, we do not produce contemporary clothing but design high-quality garments that last for years.
One of our most important environmental acts is saving natural resources by only producing workwear to actual need. We save raw materials and other resources on our own workwear production by manufacturing garments specifically on order instead of keeping them in storage.
We aim to reduce the amount of textile waste in several different ways. Not only do we make our workwear repairable, but we also minimize cutting waste by using fabrics efficiently. Most of our products do not end their lifecycle when they are discarded from their original purpose, but continue serving in other forms – either as our own products or new products for other companies. Lindström textiles have been given a new life in many different forms: bath robes for children, shopping bags, and wipers just to name a few examples.
